It wasn’t long before the tweet was widely shared, garnering itself a whopping 34.5k likes and 10.5k retweets in less than a day.

Just as quickly as his admirers passed around his photos, they flocked to the rescue site to take a closer look, effectively crashing their page.

“Mr. B apologizes for crashing our website,” the rescue tweeted. “We have our team working to get it back up as we speak. Unfortunately, they’re all cats, so it may take a little while.”

According to the rescue’s Facebook page, they received an overwhelming number of applications to adopt the short-haired domestic tabby cat.

While they say he’s not ready for a “fur-ever” home just yet, it’s clear they’ll have the perfect suitor when the time comes.

Their original Facebook adoption post has been flooded with pleas to speed up the process of finding Beejay’s new owner.

“I’d love this big boy with all my heart! I started the application, went to find my license and now the site is on pause,” one person wrote.

Another, who was having some trouble getting through to the adoption centre, commented: “I’ll gladly pay and can provide additional donates to help your other animals in need. Your website is down and phone lines busy.”

Naturally, Twitter users have also been losing their minds over this “purr-fect” feline friend.
